Specifications and Features
The router supports Wi-Fi 7 with Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology. This combines multiple frequency bands for a more stable connection.
ZTE claims the G5 Pro can achieve theoretical peak download speeds of up to 4.29Gbps. This is enabled by 4CC carrier aggregation.
It also features 4K QAM modulation, which the company says offers a 20% improvement in transmission speed compared to Wi-Fi 6.
The router operates on dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies with 4x4 MIMO on both bands.
For wired connectivity, the router includes two 2.5G Ethernet ports with WAN/LAN auto-adaptive functionality.
This allows users to connect to traditional broadband or rely entirely on cellular networks.
